That night.
After delivering Little Clark Kent to the hotel, Android 16 stayed behind to watch over him, serving as his personal bodyguard.
Anyone—no matter who—
show even the slightest hostility toward him, and they'd be dealt with without mercy!
Their presence alone was meant to deter anyone from daring to target Clark Kent, whether military forces or some other organization.
As for Renjie himself—
he had been invited to a formal evening banquet.
The invitation came from Alex Wesker,
the same woman who had appeared in this world alongside the "Underground Base—Hive."
The invitation bore a seductive lipstick imprint, leaving no doubt about its intended implication.
Dressed in a crisp white suit, Renjie had even styled his hair with care.
Together with Android 18, he arrived at the venue.
Just as they stepped out of the vehicle,
a stunning woman in a white strapless gown approached, striding quickly in high heels, arms open wide.
She lightly kissed Renjie on the cheek, then hugged Android 18.
Positioning herself between the two, forcibly separating them,
she didn't wait for Android 18 to resist.
With a warm but strategic embrace around both their waists, she laughed and chatted with Renjie as they walked toward the main hall.
This elegant blonde woman, her hair styled in an intricate updo, was Alex Wesker.
According to the game's lore,
she had also been one of the candidates in the "Wesker Project."
Known as the female boss in the Resident Evil series, players called her Aunt Wesker.
After her "brother" died, she became the last surviving Wesker.
She inherited his legacy and continued the immortality experiments.
The deepest impression she left on players?
Her words when she transformed into a bioweapon:
"Now I finally understand your feelings, Albert. Simply existing is not enough—I will surpass it all!"
Ambitious, capable, decisive, and ruthless.
Yet, because of the system's presence in this world, she was extremely loyal to Renjie.
After being coded into this world, she possessed a perfect identity:
twenty-six years old,
holding seven doctorates,
a prodigy in the field of biochemistry.
Although clearly an adult woman of twenty-six, her skin remained softer than that of a teenage girl, flawless and untouched by time.
It was obvious.
She had injected herself with the Tyrant Virus—she was a "perfect evolver."
The three of them stepped into the ballroom.
Alex invited Renjie to dance.
Her intent was clear—she wanted to sideline Android 18, creating a private moment with Renjie.
Against such a cunning woman, Android 18 seemed far too naive, with no chance to resist.
Or perhaps, she simply didn't care.
"Alex, aren't you conducting your 'immortality experiments' back at the Hive?"
"Inviting me here—have funds run low?"
"Or is it something else you're plotting?"
Renjie intercepted her waist as they danced across the floor.
"My research has hit a snag. I need new experimental subjects,"
Alex murmured seductively in his ear, her ruby lips brushing against him.
"This city isn't lacking for subjects, is it?"
Renjie's gaze swept over the dance floor, his meaning clear without words.
"I'm talking about unique subjects. For example, a boss… your genetic material,"
Alex's eyes glimmered with obsession.
Renjie hesitated, wary, and pushed her gently away.
This woman had gone mad—she actually had designs on him!
But Alex lunged again, lowering her voice as she whispered in his ear:
"The Tyrant Virus in our bodies stems from different evolutionary branches, but both originate from the Progenitor Virus.
Your virus is milder, highly adaptable, but its potential is limited.
Mine is violent, low adaptability, but limitless potential.
Combine the advantages of both, and it may be the key to immortality!
Boss, this is humanity's closest approach to eternal life!"
Alex Wesker clutched Renjie's clothing tightly.
This was the opportunity she had long dreamed of.
"You make it sound tempting. I admit, I am intrigued,"
Renjie said, his gaze flicking toward Android 18 in the distance as he spoke quietly to Alex.
"And how exactly do you plan to obtain my genetic material?"
"With this…"
Alex smiled seductively, pointing to her lips.
For a brief moment, Renjie froze.
Then she grabbed his hand firmly and, dragging him along, vanished into the crowd.
...
Later that night,
Renjie drank heavily.
He attempted to drown out his memories in alcohol,
but neither the idea of the "Key to Immortality" nor the woman herself could be easily ignored.
He made a mistake all men might make—what had started as a sample collection ended up becoming a primal, instinctive act of reproduction.
Alex did not blame him.
Perhaps, this was all part of her plan.
Renjie had thought
this was only a minor detour in his life.
It wasn't until four years later—
with the invasion of the Chiretta Legion and the unfolding of major Marvel events—
that he realized his actions that night
had inadvertently created a terrifying superhero.
